The government on Tuesday recorded two new cases of the novel coronavirus, quarantined arrivals from India and Pakistan, raising the accumulated total to 3,922.

The case from India was a five-month-old Indian baby girl who arrived on Nov 11 on the same flight as two previously confirmed cases.

The infant tested positive for Covid-19 on Nov 16, five days after arrival, while having a fever and vomiting.

She had been staying at an alternative state quarantine facility in Bangkok and was later sent to a private hospital and then the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health in Bangkok.

The case from Pakistan is a Pakistani businessman aged 31. He arrived on Nov 16 via Dubai and tested positive on day 5 while asymptomatic.


Of the total 3,922 cases logged in Thailand since the beginning of the outbreak, 3,772 (96.18%) have recovered -- including six discharged over the past 24 hours – while 90 are currently hospitalised. The death toll remained the same at 60.
